In the video he says "I'm not involved in Bitcoin" (present tense) which is not inconsistent with what was reported in the Newsweek article: >"I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it," he says, dismissing all further queries with a swat of his left hand. "It's been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection." I say this because the headline is trying to…
He can deny all he wants, but it'll be impossible to prove that he isn't that guy unless a "real Satoshi" pops up somewhere. Conspiracy theorists on all sides will continue to spin plenty of plausible scenarios both ways. And of course, if he did confirm it, people would still doubt it until there was really solid proof.
This mentions 'anger' as in "After a full day of wild speculation and anger, the LA press have finally tracked down Nakamoto and he’s receiving a grilling." I don't get it, who is angry? This guy could be angry about having his life invaded but where is the emotion coming from here?
The anger is coming from the bitcoin community, mostly because they're afraid for Satoshi's life. Someone could kidnap/torture him to try to get his bitcoins.

Well, according to LA Times reporter Andrea Chang he denied both present and past involvement, so that's something. https://twitter.com/byandreachang/status/441687863222996992
edit: I saw this (separate) tweet almost immediately after submitting, but HN went down when I tried to edit - https://twitter.com/byandreachang/status/441696297964158976. So she is claiming he said "No no no I was never involved." Which would imply that he wasn't telling the truth to either Newsweek or to this reporter, unless you believe Newsweek makes things up.
But seriously, if this really is the Satoshi Nakamoto and he has been seriously ill with two seperate life threatening illnesses in the recent past, how come none of those bitcoin he supposedly owns have shifted on medical bills?

Here's a good roundup on Reddit about how Dorian Sakamoto likely isn't Satoshi Nakamoto: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zpuer/the_newsweek... Given all this, it's incredible Newsweek ran the original story in the first place.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

She is referring exactly the very exchange that took place in video linked in this submission I just described above. Where do you see anything denying past involvement in what you linked? edit: I saw this (separate) tweet almost immediately after submitting, but HN went down when I tried to edit - https://twitter.com/byandreachang/status/441696297964158976 .

Nakamoto, when I asked him in elevator why he told Newsweek he used to be involved with #bitcoin: "No no no I was never involved."
No... in the video he denies being presently involved with Bitcoin ("I am not involved in Bitcoin"), he doesn't deny "any involvement".
